La sonda Psyche de la NASA realizará un sobrevuelo cercano a Marte

La sonda Psyche de la NASA tiene programado pasar a 2.800 millas de Marte el 15 de mayo para obtener un impulso gravitatorio hacia su asteroide objetivo. La maniobra aumentará la velocidad de la sonda y permitirá realizar pruebas de sus instrumentos científicos.

El sobrevuelo se llevará a cabo a aproximadamente 12.333 mph mientras la sonda se aproxima desde el lado nocturno del planeta. Marte aparecerá como una fina media luna durante el encuentro, lo que brindará oportunidades para calibrar el generador de imágenes multiespectrales y otras herramientas antes de su llegada al asteroide Psyche en 2029.
